Transcriber's Notes:
* The manifest I transcribed from was not numbered.
* #2 Occupation is unclear but the 1st name does have a small raised m which
is underlined then the word agent.
* #3 Henry Haun??t, the 5th & 6th letters look like EI with a line above.
* #8 The two ?? marks on the surname are covered by the tail on the letter
of the surname above it.
* #16 The occupation could possibly be Jendt??. I could not find anything
close to it in any of the occupation sites that I accessed.
* #19 The last letter in the surname could be an S.
* #21 The last letter in the surname could be an E, the tail on the last
letter looks the way the e is on other names in the list.
* #31 Possible letters for the ?? marks could be A & R, A & W or A & U.
* #66 The V in the first name has a small raised O with a line underneath it.
* #69 I cannot make out any letters of first name. It is possible that the
first letter could be an H followed by an E. The next two are not legible,
the next could be an L or D and last letter is not readable.
* #74 There is a raised underlined letter after the F in first name but I
was not able to make out what it is.
* #75 The two ?? are covered by the tail from the letter above on the first
? and by the upward tail of the letter below on the 2nd ? mark.
* #112, 113,114,115,116 The occupation is the same (has ditto marks) for
all . 2nd letter looks like a U and the word could possibly be musician.
* #128, 129 and 130 Occupation is not readable except for 1st letter and
there are ditto marks on 129 and 130 for the same occupation.
* Last passenger on the list, Chas McKahn, has a notation above "country of
origin" which says "born at sea"
